Put me in the nothing close to being OSI camp. It discriminates against anyone other than Illumina, Inc who would like to use it in gene sequencing software. I would therefore fail it under item 5. A major intent of open source software is exactly that you not discriminate in this way.
But I'm a private citizen and my interpretation is only my interpretation. If you're specifically interested in Debian, then go to https://www.debian.org/legal/ and get on their mailing lists to get their opinions. Because that is the only one that matters.
